We'll We've established that it's 100% legal for an outgoing President to attempt a violent coup.

I hope that Biden remembers this and takes it to heart in 2028. He's more competent than Trump and probably could get a third term out of it.

Maybe when they finish breaking the glass I can jump back in. It sounds like right now I could miss half a season and be like, ok, now onto a proper story. Like, I watched the first season of The Promised Neverland, and it was good and otherwise doesn't belong in this thread. By the end of the firs...

I was speaking more of the comic book source material, specifically House of M, but also Tom King's Vision miniseries.

I'm not watching it for comedy. I'm watching for the slow motion trainwreck. It's not disappointing me.

Eh, I like it. Anyone who is familiar with the source material knows exactly what they're getting. It's a slow burning character drama about an all powerful woman processing tremendous grief by retreating into a sitcom-inspired fantasy world. And Paul Bettany is clearly having a great deal of fun wi...

Weird legal/copyright question- Say I wrote a book heavily inspired by American Gods, to the point where it essentially takes place in the same world, but doesn't deal with/mention any of Gaiman's specific creations, like Mr. World or Technical Boy, or any specific names he created for gods, like M...

I would rather Barrett resign.

As a counterpoint, McConnell has told Schumer he won't support reconvening early, so the Senate will likely only reconvene on January 19th when scheduled, and you probably shouldn't take McConnell saying he agrees Trump did impeachable things as in any way effecting McConnell's obstruction. At this...

McConnell has said he'll wants impeachment at this point because he's that pissed off at Trump. No way it doesn't happen, since a conviction is guaranteed with McConnell's support.

The big difference in the hunger mechanics from previous edition is how powers are rationed. In previous editions, you were better off using spamming low-cost powers in non-combat scenes and feeding to keep yourself topped off, but budgeting yourself in combat because you lose when you run out of b...

The Stop the Steal protestors breaking through the barricade and invading congress while the cops stand by and watch the day after democrats win the senate is also extremely Republican Party. EDIT: Police have started blocking doors in riot gear to keep them physically out, but as yet storming past...

Personally, I'm of the opinion that the Second Inquisition is idiotic. Vampires have mind control powers that mortals have no reliable way to resist. A single Ventrue could completely take over the organization in a week. He wouldn't even need to do it in person, he could appear on Maury pretending ...

Who turns those souls into bricks? A specific god? Originally it was Myrkul, the Neutral Evil god of the dead. Myrkul got everyone who didn't go to a specific afterlife by default because he's god of the dead. He just didn't give a crap, so created the Wall as a means to avoid dealing with them. He...

Besides Masque of the Red Death, does anyone know of any DnD settings that just take place on Earth? I ask because a huge stumbling block in fantasy worldbuilding is naming things. Every city and island and noble house has to have its own unique name and by convention the names can't be real-world ...

A statue becomes a corpse? With bones? What if it's a skeleton statue does it turn meaty with teeny bones inside or just meat or all bone? Yknow that's a good in-game reason to explain why no Faerun religion has jesus style dying statues It's stone to flesh, not stone to bone. It becomes a walking ...

If you spent a lot of time designing your character, figuring out how to make them useful, then you want the DM to look at your character and use illusionism to make it exactly as useful as a character made by throwing darts at a dart board? If the DM has seen your character sheet, then his choices...

It occurs to me that since she can be played from Exile, kicking her out of the program was unwise on Wizards's part. Sure, 5 mana to recast is expensive, but worth it for those two white knights per turn. A much better move would have been to throw down Agent of Treachery, gaining control over her ...

I'm asserting that it is hypocritical of WotC to censure a woman who happens to make money with bra and panty photos completely separate from her Magic content, while also using cheesecake pictures of women, primarily drawn by men, in their cards to sell their products. When men sell images of nake...

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Derpeous has a preview of their new prestige classes up. it has the expected Hellknights, the not-bad Winter Witch and the baffeling Student of War and pants of head retarded Assassin. these people seem to have lost their mind. Assassin? for real? "but he can take a my...

There are three room in the trial. The last room has writing on the wall that the PCs cannot read because it is encoded, which tells them how to proceed into the dungeon. The artifacts are decoders, if they don't have their decoders, they cannot continue forward. Using the artifact's secondary funct...

How are the other reopening states doing right now? Texas has already broken our previous records for cases per day, I'm wondering if the second wave is hitting anyone else, too. Hard to tell here since the data is being massaged. It's going up less quickly than people feared. https://i.imgur.com/8...

The only advantage that tabletop RPGs offer over other games is the magical tea party and Calvinball aspects, generally called Rule 0. The RPG makes up for the inability to model all actions by just letting the GM make shit up. And that works great when the GM is good. Rule 0 is a complete game on i...

Dead Money is my least favorite of the DLCs. Both Honest Hearts and STOP WAVING YOUR HAND PENISES AT ME! Old World Blues are vastly superior.
